I don't know, neither does the Dr. I didn't feel a thing, Roomey asked what the red circle was and I didn't know, cause I didn't see it or feel it. It just appeared. The 2nd or 3rd day I noticed a crusting in the center of the red, so being me, I took my washcloth with lots of soap and literally scrubbed it, a perfect round hole appeared. I Neosporined it, but nothing happened so after 8 or 9 days I went to the Dr. He gets the culture back today, so we'll know what that really is. Nothing ever happens to me, but this year, has been a bug-a-boo with dumb stuff happening. Oh well, this too will pass.
This week-end I'll do some of my golf tournament, BBQ and Sunday after, shopping. I think this year, along with the SOS on Sunday, I'll make a breakfast pizza. I did it one year, and everyone loved it, and with the bunch I'm having this year, I think I'll do it again. I love this upcoming weekend, there is so much fellowship, laughing, story telling and of course the vets stories get better every year. Some stay for two or three days after the BBQ and we do some serious visiting and maybe golf. Then after the last group leaves, I go into the kitchen, sit at the table, put my feet on a chair and have a nice icy cold champagne.
Gee till, it kinda sounds like a brown recluse to me....
..very similar to my b-i-l's bite, looked ugly for a while, but with antibiotics, it did heal.
That' sounds just like the bite or whatever that I had last summer.
Except I didn't scrub anything and my leg swelled up so badly.
Maybe your scrubbing was a GOOD thing in that it broke up the infection.
